The Bike and the Butcher Shop

I'd been out walking along Queen Street heading toward home from what is likely one of my new favourite hi-fi and vinyl shops in Toronto (it was my first visit) when I walked past this Butcher Shop. I had decided that all of the photos I would take today would be tonemapped HDR images and this scene looked to be perfect for it. To my luck, while I was scouting it out the woman (left) approached the door which gave the frame a nice balance between the door with the signage on the right and the plain door on the left. If only there had been a light dusting of snow it would have been perfect!

Taken with:

Olympus PEN E-P2

Olympus M.Digital Zuiko 45mm f1.8

HDR processing: Photomatix Pro (from 3 frames +/1 1 stop)
